Back in the Saddle Again

Helllllloooo my long lost friends!

I know it has been a long time, but the dust has cleared and I daresay that NORMAL is here to stay (except for the interesting events that a toddler throws into the mix). I will probably hop around in time for a while - there are still some Dubai tidbits that are too juicy to ignore, so bear with me.

After living with 110+ degree weather in Dubai, my body is having a hard time adjusting to this extreme cold! I would MUCH rather be hot than cold! There's nothing better than sitting in a pool (especially in your backyard) with a cold beer on a balmy August day or in the Dubai situation, balmy every month except for maybe January when it was just hot.

Since this freeze took over Houston, I find myself layered up, sitting in front of the gas fireplace (but interestingly enough, also with a cold beer in my hand). I am counting down until March.

We did take advantage of a rare snow day and built a snowman. However, 20 minutes outside was enough for both Dylan and me. Kelly didn't even leave the fireplace.

Not swimming weather...

D's first snowman!

"Whaddya lookin at?"

Hot cocoa to warm up. Notice the themed attire :)
